EVF Tutorial

This tutorial shows how to use the Extended Vector Framework to create a simple format plugin. The EVF framework has also been called the "row set framework" and the "new scan framework". Here we focus on using the framework. Other pages in this section provide background information for when you need features beyond those shown here.

The tutorial is split into chunks for easier reading.

Next Steps

The new framework offers additional features that can further simplify the log format plugin. We'll look at those topics in the next section.
